OLC, OLP and St. George schools donate thousands of books to Hooked on Books
What better way to celebrate Catholic Schools Week than to get three great schools together to help others. Our Lady’s Christian, Our Lady of Peace and St. George schools—and their respective parishes—pulled together last week to collect books for Hooked on Books, a local organization that provides free books to families in need.
On Thursday, Feb. 4, students, principals and pastors from all three schools gathered at Gannon University to present about 100 boxes of books for both children and adults to Dr. Dolores Sarafinski, founder of the Hooked on Books program. Many of the donations will support our fellow Catholic school, Saint John’s/Holy Rosary.
